5 things I accomplished this week: - sent ~200 emails, probably half related to terminations at my institute - deleted ~1000 emails, (the usual tho) - tried (unsuccessfully) to get to revising a manuscript - mostly held it together for my trainees - kept my job

Big protest coming to Stonewall National Monument in just an hour or two. If you are in the area, get down there, be active, show your disapproval of the removal of transgender people from all online websites for the Stonewall National Monument page!

I will say this again. Every single employee that I have interacted with in the Federal govt has been hard working, professional, and dedicated to public service. #NIH, #NSF, #DOD, #NPS, #BLM, etc. They do not deserve to be treated so poorly. Thank you all for your service and how can we help?

I started this account to centralize all the news affecting federal employees this past month. But Bluesky is an echo chamber; we need to break through. Share our stories. Tell your Trumper granny. Call your cousins. Blast it on your socials. We keep this country running, and we won’t be silenced.

There are 3 special elections coming up and those 3 seats are the keys to stopping the Congressional Republicans doing Trump & Musk’s evil bidding. We need just 1 seat to block them, 2 seats to stop them, and with all 3 we can FLIP THE HOUSE. Join us!! Monday 2/24 @7:30 EST. 👇👇 mobilize.us/s/Y9NrBb

Daily timeline cleanse in support of the #NPS and #BLM. I worry about these sacred places now that the wrecking crew turned their attention to the #NPS. They are a national treasure. Soon to be sold to the highest bidder I fear. #CapitolReef Post yours too!

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

I’m asking Congress to provide disaster funding to help Californians recover and rebuild from the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. It’s all-hands-on-deck to support our fellow Americans and get them back on their feet to begin rebuilding as soon as possible.
